This reminds me of something I had on a Psychology exam.

Heinz's Dilemma In Europe, a woman was near death from cancer. One drug might save her, a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The druggist was charging $2000, ten times what the drug had cost him to make. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, ut he could get together only about half of what it should cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or to let him pay later. But the druggist said no. The husband got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife. Should the husband have done that? Why? ------------------------------------------------------ Kohlberg, Lawrence. Collected Papers on Moral Development and Moral Education.

Breaking the law to protect our own interests is a contraversial viewpoint. I would say that the correct answer to the CIA scandal will depend on one's personal morals...and morals are different all over the world. For me, living in the US...I do not support these allegations, and hope that this is not true...and if it is, then I am embarrassed for our country.

I am sure that the CIA could think of a better way to handle matters.
